Mark E. Green, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Tennessee's 7th district, has been vocal about various legislative issues through his social media presence. Green, who replaced Marsha Blackburn in 2019, recently shared his perspectives on topics ranging from federal regulations to taxpayer spending.

On February 20, 2025, Rep. Mark Green criticized a proposal to federally mandate Merchant Category Codes. He expressed that such a measure is "insulting to Americans freely practicing their Second Amendment rights." In response, he announced his support for Rep. Riley Moore’s Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act, stating it aims to prevent this initiative before its implementation ("The proposal to federally mandate Merchant Category Codes is insulting to Americans freely practicing their Second Amendment rights...").

Later that same day, Green addressed concerns over taxpayer funds being used for animal experiments related to gender transition surgeries. He described the expenditure of $241 million as "beyond disturbing" and acknowledged the efforts of GOP Oversight for revealing what he termed a "gross abuse of tax dollars" ("Spending $241 million tax dollars on mutilating animals to mimic gender transition surgeries is beyond disturbing...").

In another post dated February 21, 2025, Green commented on federal regulations under the Biden administration. He claimed these regulations would have cost Americans $15,788 per household annually. He praised President Trump's rule requiring agencies to eliminate ten existing regulations before introducing new ones as a measure that will save money and boost the economy ("The Biden administration’s federal regulations would have cost Americans $15,788 per household this year...").
